Placing an object on the top layer

You can force an object to always be on the top layer of the page. This is useful when you have multiple objects layered on your page.

To force an object to the top layer:

Do one of the following to display the Properties ribbon:
- In the Project Explorer, double-click the graphic of the object.
- In the Project Explorer, right-click the graphic and select Properties.
- In the work area, double-click the object.
- In the work area, right-click the object and select Properties.

Enable the Always on Top check box in the Appearance group.

If multiple objects are set to Always on Top, the program will refer to the ordering of the objects in the Project Explorer to determine which of the objects is on the top layer. The top-most object listed on the page in the Project Explorer is on the bottom layer of the page.
The Always on Top setting for buttons is disabled when Accessibility settings are enabled.
Always on Top is selected and disabled when Anchor Position is selected. Anchored objects will always be on top of all other objects, regardless of where they are ordered in the Project Explorer. (This includes being treated as on top of other objects marked as "Always on Top".) For details about the Anchor Position setting, see Changing the position and size of an object.

The object is forced to the top layer.
